EDICT DECREES PUMSHMENT.
Penalties Named Do Not Meet the
I'owern' Demand.
Pekln, Feb. It A message was delivered
to the forelsn Ministers before the mewling
this morning from the Ctln"e Peace Com-
jr.lsloiier?. which contained the wording of
an edict, dated yesterday, practically reit
erating the recent dispatches of the Aso
c'ated Press, sentencing Prince Chunc lo
commit suicide and Yu Hsien, former Gov
ernor of the Province of Shan-Sl, to be exe
cuted, both In the presence of a high Gov
ernment official. In order to sattafy the for
eigners. Chi Hsien and Hin Cheng Yu will have
their cases Investigated bv LI Hung Chang
and Prince Chlng. whose report the Km
peror will take lefore execution is pro
nounced. Oeneral Tung Fu Hsang Is deprived of his
rank und will receive further punishment
afterwards.
Yfcng Nlan and Chao Su Klan are lmprtJ
oned.
Sentence of death Is sunpcnded on those
culprits who are already dead, but all their
honors are cancelled, also the posthumous
honors granted to their families.
Owing to the lateness of the hour nt which
the translation was made the Ministers did
not consider the matter this morning, leav
ing It until Monday. But they scarcely con
sider this repetition of the edict a proper
answer to their demands, as it means only
one head instead of those demanded.
Still, they think that nfter the Chinese
new year, if insistence Is made, the reply
will be as required.
The Ministers have considered the plans
for a legation settlement, with fortifica
tions, and also the question of indemnities.
They have decided that the Jurisdiction at
present held covered only the local losses
of citizen and that the home Governments
must announce the expenses of their mili
tary expeditions.

Sensible Advice Which if Followed
Will Save Their Lives:.
Smallpox killed less than one thousand
persons In this country during 1000.
Consumption and Pneumonia destroyed
the lives of one hundred and seventy
eight thousand six hundred and ninety
live during the same period. One case
of smallpox will frighten thousands into
adopting the advice of their physicians
or the rules of the Health Hoard, yet
fliOBe 'afflicted with Cougba, Catarrh and
Consumption utterly ignore such advice;
go not heed the reports published ly the
bureau or uai statistics, Dut, instead,
pend-their time and money trying to
ure these diseases with treatments and

Ihe germs causing the disease.
Now If these people would investi
gate every remedy manufactured, study
. the construction of the air passages, and
be guided by the reports of the Bureau
pt Vital Statistics, they will soon find
there is but one remedy and one method
tty which Consumption can be cured.
To be sure, stomach medicines may
give strength and flesh to' many, anil
raiiors and sprays of strong drugs dead
en the cough, but the reports4 of the
Bureau of Vital Statistics prove how
utterly worthless those .treatments have
been in stopping the progress of Catarrh
and Consumption.
HYOMEI, the Dry-Air Germicide, was
discovered in 1894, but did not come
into general use until 1806. Now, In
stead of going Into the merits of this
t new remedy, we ask you to turn to the
yearly reports of deaths and their causes
. published by the Government In 1896.
You will find that the Increase in deaths
from Consumption and Pneumonia stop
ped then; that in 1897 they were further
fredueed, and that this reduction in
creased annually until It reached a grand
total of 3,305 In 1900.
. That HYOMEI cured 2305 persons of
consumption In 1000, -will undoubtedly
surprise many, but when you know that
Coughs, Colds, Catarrh and Bronchitis,
which are the starting point of Con
sumption, cannot exist when HYOMEI
Is. used, it is easily understood.
HYOMEI is the only cure for Coughs,
Catarrh, Bronchitis and Consumption be
cause it Is the only germicide which can.
tie-inhaled in the air we breathe.
HYOMEI Is the only cure because It Is
through the air we breathe alone, that
the germs of the disease can be reached

This is the time of year when rheumatic sufferers lay in their
Winter supplyof plasters, salves and pills to be prepared in time for the
coming of their old enemy, Rheumatism. Experience has taught them
that the most they can expect from this method of treatment is partial
relief. By rubbing, steaming and.a liberal use of plasters they hope to
hold the disease in check until the coming of warm weather; but Summer
time does not always bring the longed for relief, for the blood becomes
so charged with the acid poisons, and the joints, muscles and tissues of the
body so thoroughly saturated with the hot, burning fluid, that attacks be
come more frequent and the unfortunate sufferer is never entirely free
from pain. Finally the muscles contract; the joints swell and stiffen, and
the helpless, discourged victim of this torturing disease, even with the aid
of crutch or stick, finds walking difficult and painful.
Rheumatism is a deep-seated, dangerous disease, caused by the
gradual absorption into the blood of refuse matter that should have been
carried out of the system through the proper channels. These nmsnns
soon destroy the purity and life of the blood, and as it circulates through the body the acid particles that are thrown off

I was terribly afflicted with Rheuma

sickness tried the skill of many good
physicians, all of whom pronounced my
case hopeless. I was for a year in suoh a
helpless condition that I was unable to
dress or feed myself. I had filled at dif

gested by friends, none of them giving
me any relief. I finally decided to include
S. S. 8. in my ll:t snd took the first dose
when hobbling about on crutches. After
taking two bottles I fcund to much relief
X was able to rsUnquish the use of one
crutch, and) a faithful continuanco of the
medicine relieved me of the other crutch
and shortly afterward enabled me to go to
my work, at which X have been ever since.
This was flvo years ago, and I have had
